[QUOTE="SimonG, post: 661840, member: 71048"] When there are half dozen teams, it's infinitely easier to win. Now you can spin whatever stat to suit...could add Kilkenny won another five in the 2000s that I didn't mention. No team has the same players over a decade, yet they still have a decade of complete dominance. This is a tiny island...the top half of the country doesn't play hurling. The two biggest GAA counties in the bottom half, Kerry and Dublin...one doesn't play it and the other it's a secondary comp. So what are we left with...Offaly, Limerick...small playing pools, their equivalent in football would be minor counties. Cork is the one major GAA county that bucks the trend with regard to hurling.
